EvshrugThese look beautiful! How's the sound? Is it really like an open and closed back headphone lol I haven't listened to a sennheiser that I hadn't liked
Mastaboog749It doesn’t have that honky, bleeding sound common in closed headphones. Technically the open back HD 800S is still better, but I think the moderately increased bass and sub bass is more fun in the HD 820 :) They’re really light and it’s remarkable how they don’t have pressure hot spots.
I will tell you a caveat that almost turned me off from them when I first heard them. I was used to the HD 800, and when I placed these HD 820 centered over my ears, I felt the sound was flat and dull, really disappointed. You have to play around with placement; for me, I found a sweet spot that was with the cups fairly down and forward on my head, which drastically warmed up the sound signature and was much more fun :)
Though it's tiny, it manages to power even high ohm headsets with amazing accuracy. It works great with the drop usb-c to usb-c and my Phillips shp-9600. Soon enough I'll be using the Akoustyx...
I have an external amplifier with no integrated DAC and I only have an xduo xa10 as a dac/amp can I use the xduo xa10 as a dac only with an external amplifier?
So I bought the HD6xx a few weeks back and when I finally got the packages i got some Noir 99. ever happened to any of u guys and how did it get resolved
